// S.H.I.E.L.D.ing the Hudson

Jimmy Hudson from Marvel's Ultimate Comics: X

I just recently finished this series and I was quite impressed. I'm sad to hear that the Bi-Monthly schedule wasn't working but when you see the amount of detail that Art Adams throws into every issue I understand. The series was a really interesting set-up because it's an X-Men story that doesn't have Prof. X, Magneto, Cyclops, or Wolverine.

I just don't understand why there isn't more fan art about this kid. He's the son of Wolverine. He's not a clone. He's not Daken (even though I collect Daken comics).

In regards to his hoodie, I liken it to when kids find something out and then adopt it into their own culture. S.H.I.E.L.D. is essentially hunting all mutants down, but I would see this as Jimmy taking that symbol and owning it, making it his own so to speak. I'd say that it's like taking an urban legend and bringing it to light so that it doesn't have power over you anymore. Maybe I'm just reading more into it than I should.

I was thinking of traditionally inking and then computer coloring this one. What do y'all think?

My pencils for a Sasquatch art jam from about 2 weeks ago.  Pathetic composition on my part and the poor urban legend is armless...bummer...

// Facebook Friends - Patrick


Here's another in the long ongoing project - To draw all of my Facebook friends.


This is Patrick. He wrote and co-created the Sunset comic book that I colored a few years back. He's a great guy, and a fantastic writer. Patrick is getting ready to drop a new historical fiction novel about the American Revolution.

// Facebook Friends - Big Leon a.k.a. Pops


Here's another in the long ongoing project - To draw all of my Facebook friends. 

This is my dad Big Leon, a.k.a. Pops.

It was originally intended to be a Father's Day present, but like all my projects, I procrastinated. My dad had asked for something similar to my profile pic and here's what I went with. It's more of my traditional style of pencils, inks, colors as opposed to my color holds and cel-shading. That's a welding helmet he's rocking--my dad is one helluva fantastic metalsmith.
